App Profile: DIRECTV

Tims opinion

Rating: 5/5

I enjoy Direct TV but when it censored One America news it was wrong and disappointed me. What makes Direct tv think it’s customers can’t view and judge news in a free and open market place. We are adults and censorship is the death of a free democratic society. It’s difficult to believe in this age news would be censored merely because Direct tv did not like or agree with the reports of One America news. As it turned out, one American news was correct in its reporting. Censored news and opinions stifle a free marketplace of thought and ideas and are dangerous to culture and free thinking persons. I ask that Direct tv reconsider its decision and provide a free and open platform for news and entertainment purveyors and allow its viewers to decide what they like, how they may disagree with news or opinions and not interfere with such thought process. None of us can always agree on every aspect of others opinions and thoughts nor should we expect such monotonous thinking. Variety keeps life interesting and promotes healthy discussion of a multitude of opinions. Thank you

This app WAS amazing when it was direct tv. However since the switch to at&t, I cannot get more than 2 minutes, if I’m lucky, through my recordings or live shows without an error message. Extremely frustrating. All of the things posted by at&t about deleting the app and restarting your device then redownloading said app and the like are crap. I guess they want to sound like they have a solution. Well, no. Just no. Yes my computer is turned on. Thanks tech support. Although the app was amazing for my use, there were some bugs anyway. Like if u pause live tv then come back 5 minutes later and play, it will restart live. What’s the point of pausing again? Oh yeah: so u don’t miss anything. A couple of months ago I would’ve rated high but now, I’m upset that I can’t rate lower than 1 star. I hope u read this at&t. I really hope u do. Aren’t you like the biggest telecommunications company on the planet? Had your internet once. Had being the keyword. Never had the advertised speed and if a door was shut between the modem and the chosen device in use, the signal dropped like a lead balloon. Do u just have so much money that u don’t care about the consumer anymore? I’ve been paying for your cel service for 15 years (from before u took away unlimited data like greedy pigs) and paid the exorbitant amount for your internet and cable for 6 years so the least u could do is make your only free thing work again before u had to throw your logo all over it.

I feel like there should be more improvements to this app, and out of all the reviews I bet people have made the suggestions already. But one huge and main complaint is that this app crashes far too often and when I go back to the middle of the show I was watching it starts over! So frustrating. I also don’t know why after I’ve watched a show from a series it doesn’t indicate anywhere that it’s already been viewed like most other media apps like Netflix, it shows the bar at the bottom showing you watched it until the end. This app only shows it when you’re in the middle of a show, but then you have to hold it doesn’t crash or it just starts over anyway. Also when you minimize the screen it keeps playing which is an awesome upgrade with the iPhone software too but if you go back and forth a few times from maximum to minimum the app crashes. So some definite things need to be fixed! Now a couple positives- it is nice that you can favorite channel, much better looking home screen than other apps, and pretty user friendly, except for the things mentioned above. It does record all my shows without any hiccups, knock on wood, but again even after I watch them they stay in my recorded shows and no indication whether they’ve been watched by a status bar or check mark.
